Summer Rose

Shifting into Autumn.

Summer Rose   -   23 Sep 19

The last petals of the
Summer rose
Drift across the lawn
Blown by the wind
Into the lake of Autumn
A gentle rain
Washes the petals
Leaving phantom hues
Across the lake
Last memory of Summer

.
It is the rose which acts as the waymarker.

Shadows On A Lawn

Slightly wistful thoughts from an afternoon.





Shadows On A Lawn  -  20 Jan 16

Long deep thoughts
Painted acros the lawn
By the afternoon sun
Ancient steps
From a forgotten dance
Leave shadows
To follow
For those who dare
The grass remembers
The shadows still dance
Across the lawn





I have never been on this particular lawn but other lives have shown me memories.
